 name="advantages_in_using_zip_over_other_formats"></a>ZIP compression
is quite fast and it is
not CPU
intensive (for today's standard) compared to competing standards as rar
and 7z - it's based on Deflate lossless compression algorithm
(like
in GZip format), alternatively Deflate64 or BZip2 based compression is
possible, and supported by PeaZip - that makes ZIP format an ideal
candidate for archiving large quantities of mixed types of data (i.e.
performing a backup), when speed is more important than maximum
compression, which is usually the case with today's large disks and
large, poorly compressible multimedia files.</li>
                          <li><span
 style="background-color: rgb(255, 238, 221);">ZIP support is nearly
ubiquitous</span> (i.e.
most Linux
distributions and Windows since XP have basic support for ZIP standard
out of the box), making ZIP format
the ideal choice when distributing files i.e. downloadable packages,
mail attachments etc.<br>
                          </li>
                        </ul>
Recently WinZip (probably the most popular zip file utility on MS
Windows
platform) introduced a new
encryption scheme, Advanced Encryption (AE), AES based; AE-encrypted
archives and classic
ZipCrypto-encrypted archives are supported by PeaZip (for legacy
compatibility purpose, ZipCrypto encryption is weak by today's
standards and should not be used for new files), and it is also
capable to read PKWare's AES encrypted zip archives.<br>
Many archive/package formats (i.e. JAR, XPI, APK etc) are based on
modified ZIP standard, and can be consequently read by PeaZip.<br>

is a new
archiving format implemented in WinZip starting
from
12.1 release, evolved from ZIP specifications with newer data
compression algorithms - BZip, LZMA, PPMd and others.<br>
It provides a compression ratio
comparable with RAR format, but ZIPX compression / extraction is
significantly slower than ZIP and marginally slower than RAR, in the
range of operating with 7Z
format.<br>
So, while ZIPX is a more feature-rich and powerful compression format
than ZIP, functionally it
is not an 1:1 replacement of it, being slower and not yet supported by
most third party utilities, an "issue" it shares with most of
ZIP alternative formats.<br>

The format is currently less popular than in past years, it offers

PeaZip features UNACE for Windows and Linux as external plugin on

to keep the base PeaZip package free of closed source software (only
software released under OSI approved licenses are included in the base

stream, and for archiving purpose are often combined with TAR in order

Both Brotli and Zstandard projects aims to maximum compression and
extraction speed, the main goal being near-real time lossless
decompression of content being distributed over the network, reducing
the latency, transmission time, bandwidth consumption, and compression
/ decompression overhead over traditional lossless compression
algorithms (as zlib's Deflate or Zopfli).<br>
As file archiving formats, at lower compression settings both Brotli BR
format and Zstandard ZST format outperforms for speed fast compressors
like Gzip / ZIP obtaining similar compression results, and at higher
compression levels are both capable of providing a better than Deflate
compression level, being comparable to BZip2 or even RAR / 7Z formats
